Pirate Polish Christmas Collection - swatches and review!

Hey everyone! I have a festive post for you today, featuring five beautiful polishes from one of my favorite indie sellers, Pirate Polish!

This is the Christmas Collection from Pirate Polish! I love holiday polishes, they are so fun.

I'll start out by showing you my favorite of the set!

Pirate Polish - Sugar Cookies
Don't you just want to eat this up?! It's so cute and such a good interpretation of sugar cookies for your nails.
Here I layered 2 coats of Sugar Cookies over one coat of white polish, just to ensure perfect opacity.
The glitter was not hard to fish out and I just love the squares and the colors and man, it's perfect!

Pirate Polish - Christmas Tree In Blue
My second favorite! A great layering glitter in a clear base. There's all sorts of blue, silver and white glitter.
Here I've shown two coats layered over Zoya Kristen.
Again, no issues with getting enough glitter onto the brush, great formula. I really like the bar glitters in this one because they're big enough that they don't look hairy and I didn't have issues with them poking out and annoying me.

If you like this one, I just miiiiiight have a bottle for an upcoming giveaway... Keep your eyes peeled... ;)

Pirate Polish - Joyeux Noel
How Christmasy is this?! Red and green and gold glitter in different sizes, in a clear base. The layering possibilities for this one are endless, but I chose to layer it over a green creme, Essie Pretty Edgy.
I've worn this once already, and I got a ton of compliments on it! People kept noticing how festive my nails were.

Pirate Polish - Holiday Glow
This is a crazy flakey glittery sparkly golden polish. I chose to layer it over a dark blue (Orly Shockwave) but it can also be worn alone with 2-3 coats.
This is packed with the ultrafine flakes and its totally gorgeous! Big win.

Pirate Polish - Christmas Lights
Last but certainly not least, a dark purple jelly filled with bright hexes and tiny silver holographic glitter. Definitely looks like twinkling Christmas lights!
I layered two coats over OPI Eiffel For This Color which was the perfect base match!
With this one I did have to fish for some glitter a little but it wasn't a major pain.
Super cute!
